My coworker, Ken, went to your summit this spring, and passed your information on to me. My question is basically, how do I make ALOHA work? Is there any documentation online?

Hello, I have been trying to get your Aloha to work, unsuccessfully. On page 12 of the pdf file included in the download, it shows the Architect sandbox tool called Architect.vi. In the user.lib_\MATRIX folder, I have found an Architect.ini file, but no Architect.vi file. Don't I need that to use the sandbox tool?

The example program SimpleExample.vi is an Architect. It is a sandbox / starting point for you to experiment with. If you click on the three-colored box icon in the control bar, it will bring up the Object Browser Agent. You can use that to load new Agents that you create.
You can make new Agents part of your program by adding them to Agents directory. Just add the Agent VI file and an INI file of the same name. Set Load = "TRUE" in the INI file. Now that new Agent will start with the rest of your program.

I am trying to understand the S5_MLA template and when I run the example and write a message (For example "Shutdown") nothing happens. Why? (I tried "SYS.Initialize" too and nothing happens. Why???

Ok, figure it out! When I press ENTER, the string moves to the next line and gives the impression that the message field is empty, because it adds a new empty line. But when you write a new message, the previous message goes concatenated with the new, and there is no case to handle it.
